We’ve seen what happens when people are so scared of what’s different, of what they don’t understand that they feel that the only way to deal with it is to turn to violence

One voice is small barely audible, practically invisible so when one voice speaks out it’s easy to ignore

I used to believe that I was ephemeral so full of doubt I was certain I was invisible

I come up here and start speaking all these thoughts in my head leaking I try to express how I feel sometimes wondering which of it’s real

We were going to celebrate outside in a beautiful park in the sun in honor of a special day for a special someone

Why can’t everyone see how broken I am inside? How terrible I am? The monster behind my eyes

My world is falling apart Crashing down around me as life throws one blow after another at me

I can’t be happy today it hurts too much to try but on days like today it’s okay to let yourself cry

Holding steady Hands at the ready It’s time to leave this cage and step onto the world’s stage

I’m drifting all alone Trying desperately to atone for all the horrible things I’ve done Wishing for life to be fun But I’ve made too many mistakes So I put on smiles, all fakes Because forgiveness can’t be found After everything I’ve done, sleep isn’t sound But if I look through all the darkness I know somewhere, I will find forgiveness Cos even though I am not perfect I know in my heart that I am worth it
